Floyd passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family at the Meaford Hospital on Saturday, April 19, 2025 in his 90th year. Born in St. Vincent Township on November 6, 1935, Floyd was the son of the late Steward and Mildred (nee Allan) Doran.
Floyd will be sadly missed by his beloved wife Brenda (nee Campbell) Doran. He was the kind and patient father of Randy Doran (Karen) and Rick Doran (Jodie). Floyd was the proud Papa of Nathan, Mitchell, Owen and Sara.
He was the brother-in-law of Jack Campbell (Sharon) and Bob Campbell (Alva), was predeceased by his sister-in-law Jean Ann Skippen, and will be remembered fondly by his brother-in law Ivan Skippen and by many nieces, nephews and their families.
Many who knew Floyd would often call him ‘Floydie’, he was easy to get along with and always treated others well. Floyd was a very hard worker. He started working at a young age and in his teens, he assisted with the building and construction of the new Meaford General Hospital. He later worked at Amerock in the maintenance department. He later became an Operator and eventually a Manager in the Sewage Treatment Plants in both Meaford and Thornbury.
Floyd thoroughly enjoyed sports, both playing and coaching. He was a very talented carpenter and built a home for his family and later assisted his son Randy with the building and construction of his own family’s home. Floyd has created and built many tables, cabinets and other pieces that will be treasured by family and friends. He and Brenda have enjoyed travelling together over the years. Floyd absolutely loved having his family together; time together with them meant the world to him. He enjoyed life, worked hard and took nothing for granted. Floyd will be missed but will never be forgotten.
Family will receive friends for a public visitation on Friday April 25, 2025 from 4 until 7 p.m. at the Ferguson Funeral Home in Meaford. A private graveside service will be conducted at Lakeview Cemetery.
